Havening Techniques are increasingly being incorporated by therapists, counsellors, and coaches because they offer an effective, adaptive tool that enhances and complements existing practices. Havening therapy is beautifully integrative and powerfully so.
Reasons for Incorporating Havening
- Enhanced Effectiveness of Traditional Psychotherapy: Havening creates an electrochemical environment in the mind and body that removes the amygdala filter from the psychotherapeutic process, allowing traditional psychotherapy to be more effective.
- Versatility and Adjunctive Use: Havening can be used alongside other techniques and schools of thought, making it a versatile addition to any toolkit. If another technique is being used, Havening is used alongside it.
- Rapid and Gentle Trauma Resolution: Havening allows for the depotentiation of traumatically encoded experiences in the amygdala, empowering the brain to release these experiences that serve as a trauma filter for present-day information processing. It is also the most effective tool seen for gently and effectively healing complex PTSD.
- Breaking Through Resistance: It breaks through resistance in a soft and gentle manner, helping the person move through resistance and feel safe going into scary places.
- Efficiency: Havening speeds up the therapeutic process.
- Addresses Root Causes: Havening is considered an all-encompassing therapy that can reach the heart of people’s issues.
- Accessibility: Havening helps clients access a beautiful, hypnotic, freely-associating state while feeling completely in control.
- Scientifically Supported: The solid scientific framework and clear neurobiological mechanism of action is appealing to healthcare professionals.
What Havening Adds to Current Practices
- Improved Client Outcomes: Practitioners report that Havening amplifies results and makes them happen in a shorter period of time.
- Deeper and Safer Access to Traumatic Memories: Havening facilitates deeper levels of healing more quickly and safely by removing the amygdala filter. Traditional psychotherapy will be more effective because of the electrochemical environment Havening creates in the mind and body.
- Emotional Regulation: Havening helps clients to skillfully regulate and manage their emotions.
- Content-Free Work: Havening can be used without the client needing to disclose the content of their traumatic experiences, which is beneficial for those who cannot face talking about what happened to them.
- Reduces Practitioner Stress: When therapists haven all day, they don’t take on any of the client’s stress.
- Empowerment: It is beautifully integrative and powerfully so.
Extra Benefits for Clients
- Feeling Grounded and Calm: Patients often leave Havening sessions in a more grounded, clear, and peaceful state, no matter where they began.
- Empowerment and Self-Regulation: Clients are often taught how to self-haven in the first session, giving them a tool they can use immediately at home.
- Increased Awareness: This educational aspect allows people to become more aware of the possible causative factors of their symptoms.
- Restored Freedom: Clients can talk about previously overwhelming experiences free from emotional upheaval, stepping back into freedom.
- Addresses Trauma: Through the use of Havening you’re able to depotentiate the actual traumatic memories.
- Access a Sense of Self: Havening is a tool that therapists can use that allows clients to access more readily a sense of self, which is a psychological use of language to explain something that’s profoundly spiritual.
- Promotes a Safe Space: Patients will come in and sit down and it becomes a Havening space because the brain wants that place of safety.
Havening Techniques are being widely adopted by therapists, counsellors, and coaches due to their ability to enhance traditional practices, provide rapid and gentle trauma resolution, and empower clients with self-regulation tools. This integration leads to improved client outcomes, reduced practitioner stress, and a more versatile and effective therapeutic approach.
